Before the 2006 Assam assembly elections, Ajmal was politically insignificant. During the 2006 elections however, his party managed to win 10 seats fighting the Congress. he was elected simultaneously from two constituencies – South Salmara and Jamunamukh – by a large margin of votes. In the 2009 Lok Sabha elections, Ajmal won from [[Dhubri (Lok Sabha constituency)|Dhubri]] constituency.<ref name=":0" />

In the [[2011 Assam Legislative Assembly election|2011 Assembly polls]], AIUDF won 18 seats and emerged as the largest opposition party in [[Assam]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://eciresults.ap.nic.in/PartyWiseResult.htm |title=Archived copy |access-date=19 May 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140519040751/http://www.eciresults.ap.nic.in/PartyWiseResult.htm |archive-date=19 May 2014 }}</ref>

In the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, Ajmal was re-elected from Dhubri and his party won 3 Lok Sabha seats.

== Controversy ==
Ajmal's statements have often courted controversy for polarizing Bengali Muslims. Following the [[2012 Assam violence|2012 Assam riots]], Ajmal claimed the violence was between [[Boro people|Bodos]] and Muslims. The remarks were criticised by an Assamese Muslim group, the Sadou Asom Gariya – Moria Desi (SAGMJ), along with the [[All Assam Students' Union|All Assam Students Union]], for ignoring that Assamese Muslims were not involved at all.<ref name=":0" />

On 22 January 2021, at a rally in Dhubri, Ajmal claimed the BJP had a list of 3500 mosques it would destroy if returned to power at the Centre and that “they will not let women go out wearing ‘burqa’, grow a beard, wear a skullcap or even offer ''azaan'' at mosques.” The BJP claimed he was making "communal statements" out of "nervousness" since BJP "will get majority share of Muslim votes" this election. Congress, with whom Ajmal is in alliance, as well as NDA party [[Asom Gana Parishad]] also condemned the remarks.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-01-21|title=Congress runs for cover in Assam after new ally AIUDF chief Badruddin Ajmal sparks a row|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/elections/assam-assembly-election/congress-runs-for-cover-in-assam-after-new-ally-aiudf-chief-sparks-a-row-101611251674963.html|access-date=2021-02-01|website=Hindustan Times|language=en}}</ref>
